CJE Briefs — Autumn 2012

In this issue, we cover the appointment of CJE member Melanie Dane as Black Diamond’s new municipal court judge, announce our new political directors hired by the CJE Board, and say a fond farewell to our friend Judge Frank LaSalata.

In addition, we welcome two new corporate members, LifeSafer and 2 Watch Monitoring, as well as eight new individual members who have joined the CJE effort to improve our judiciary.

We also have an announcement about upcoming social events including CJE’s Election Night Party at Daniel’s Broiler in Bellevue. Starting at 5:30, this will be a fun affair and allows you plenty of time to attend your favorite candidate’s party, too. Don’t miss it!

What They’re Saying About CJE …

Over the past several years, the group has emerged as a muscular — and some say unprecedented — force in typically low-profile elections for municipal- and district-court judges in King and Snohomish counties.
National experts say it is one of the only groups in the United States raising money to affect the outcomes of such low-level judicial races.
CJE won four of five races it targeted in 2010, including ousting two incumbent judges with independent-expenditure campaigns that dwarfed spending by the targeted candidates.

The Seattle Times

THANK YOU for your leadership this past year and congratulations on your incredible success in reshaping the judicial landscape in King County. The Seattle Municipal Court will clearly never be the same again but the gains made at the District Court level are no less impressive. It’s a short term improvement and a long term wake-up call that a judicial post is not an automatic lifetime job with zero accountability.

Special Thanks To Our Corporate Members
